As a frequent flier I love flying the Boeing 747 for one reason - it's passenger experience. The 747-400 must really make money for Corsair, given that they fly it with up to 587pax. I can suggest they opt for the 747-8, as an even larger variant. This is because a 777 (even the upcoming -9x) would be too small, and 10 abreast in economy is uncomfortable on 777. but also because the -8 is much more efficient, quieter, has a nicer passenger cabin and can stil use the existing airports, for example, princess juliana that an A380 can't. But anyway, onto my flight: the recline could have been better (especially in business) but I like the fact that there';s 32 inch pitch economy vs whan normal airlines like Virgin have at 31 inch pitch. There wasn't much choice of entertainment, but at least what was showing was pretty decent and up to date or popular with passengers. The 747 is great with its 59m long cabin you can walk around, and I think it's great that Corsair use them. Economy passengers can now walk around the whole plane apart from the upper deck, and there's 50 or so seats in the quiet nose of the airplane, improving the economy experience. Overall a very nice aircraft, a pretty decent airline. Would recommend, staff are also very friendly. :)
